It took me 12 casts to get my Baby croc. I was fishing in Orgrimmar for Old crafty since I heard his drop rate increases to an almost guarentee. However, in those 12 casts. Old crafty did not appear once. It seems Blizzard have fixed this "bug" so having the quest will no longer drop Old crafty at an increased rate. This means, as far as I can see, people will have to go back to grinding for the Elusive fish of The Capital cities.</p> <p>The [Shrimpin' Ain't Easy] quest, against my first impression, does not drop on every catch now. It will use the drop rate of Barbed Gill Trout as it replaces that fish on the catch table.</p> <p>The [Felblood Fillet] quest now requires multiple casts. Caught one in 15 casts.</p> <p>The [Bait Bandits] quest also requires multiple casts. Caught on in 7 casts (Confirmed by "Salty" Norrinir)</p> <p>The quest [The one that got away] requires multiple casts. (Posted by Norrinir)</p> <p>Seems the only quest really effected is [crocolisks in the city] in relation to Old crafty. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/no-frill-catches-since-308#post-4024 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 07:51:05 +0000 Pokeit 4024@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I spent about an hour in Shadowglen fishing for the last component of my title (and here I thought that STV Tourney would be the prob... easy 2 tries).</p> <p>With over 230 casts I caught nothing only raw brilliant smallfish and raw longjaw mud snapper with 1 exception of one (1) minor mana potion. Normally every 60 or so casts I see some sort of frill such as 10 and 12 lb off hand frill fish. In fact just prior to the patch I had about 400 casts with 2x 12 lbs, 4x10 lbs, and 1 of each potion type.</p> <p>Do you think now a bad time to work on the one that didn't get away?</p> <p>(Also, I swear some accounts have luck modifiers based on RNG + account ID or something.)</p> <p>[Edit]<br /> Ok, well I made 2 more casts just after posting this and finally caught a 12lb mud snapper.<br /> But I still feel that the drop rate is down a good bit. </p>
